Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

April is a beautiful month with lush grass, flying birds, and blooming flowers. The world is beautiful.

With Zhu Jiacheng's help, the West Courtyard became beautiful beyond words.

Liu Xu asked Uncle He to buy a lot of gauze and thin silk to hang in the pavilion and the open pavilion, and also made a parasol on the second floor.

After everything was packed up, Liu Xu moved into the west courtyard with Ye Miaoyin, her daughter and four maids.

As the weather got warmer, the master and his two disciples all lived upstairs.

After practicing every day, I can also sit in meditation facing the rising sun to cultivate my internal strength, which has greatly improved my kung fu.

The clan school has already undergone an assessment and is now divided into four classes. For children under seven years old, there is the enlightenment class, with boys and girls sitting together; for those over seven years old, boys and girls are separated into the Hanhai class and the Lingxiu class.

It is worth mentioning that there are three more teachers in the clan school, namely Liu Xu's grandfather Xu Yiru, master Ye Miaoyin and Doctor Meng.

The old man was bored at home, so he volunteered to be the teacher of the enlightenment class; and Ye Miaoyin and Doctor Meng were invited by Liu Xu.

Ye Miaoyin was responsible for teaching the girl some martial arts, half an hour every day; Doctor Meng taught everyone some simple pharmacology, also half an hour every day.

Every day after half an hour of morning reading, students would start practicing martial arts. Then the girls would learn needlework and the boys would take literature classes.

In the afternoon, when the girls were studying literature, the boys were studying medicine. They would switch places after half an hour. The last half an hour was for doing homework and asking questions.

The enlightenment class is full of children between five and seven years old. Xu Yiru only teaches them liberal arts classes. For other classes, they have to go to the Hanhai class and Lingxiu class on their own.

The course was set up by Liu Xu and Tang Zhiqiu together. There is a quarter of an hour break between each class to combine work and rest.

Liu Xu also asked her second uncle to help make some seesaws and slides that the children in her previous life played with, so that everyone could relax during their break.

Tang Zhiqiu originally disapproved of this, saying that playing with things would lead to a loss of ambition. But Liu Xu insisted that she was the boss, so Tang Zhiqiu could only feel depressed.

It turned out that these children not only did not lose their ambition due to playing with toys, but it seemed that by relaxing in the middle of the course, they learned things faster and were able to think about problems more effectively.

As he stayed in Liujia Village longer, the children gave him a feeling that what the teachers said in the past about turning a deaf ear to the world outside and focusing only on reading the books of sages was wrong.

After all, the children in Liujia Village not only have to learn several subjects in school, but they also never neglect their daily lives just because of their studies.

At the beginning of the school year, Liu Xu asked that the homework should not be too much. Most of them would finish it in the last class. After school, those who needed to cut grass for the pigs cut grass, and those who needed to cook cooked. It seemed that the daily work had not decreased much.

Because they have to work, they value their study time more, and they take notes seriously on almost everything the teacher teaches. Even if they don’t understand something, they will write it down and ask questions later in class.

Of course, not everyone is so smart, but they can’t be said to be stupid either, it’s just that their academic bias is particularly serious.

Take his literature class for example, some people are very good at counting with sticks, but they are slow in learning to read and write.

There are also people who are not very interested in literature. Although they will study hard, compared with martial arts, one is like a frost-bitten eggplant and the other is like a young eagle flapping its wings. There are both men and women like this. The two martial arts masters are still talking about the upper level of physique.

However, Liu Xu had also told him at the beginning that there was no requirement for everyone to take the imperial examination. As long as everyone could read and write, teaching would be tailored to the individual's needs.

So, not only him, but other than Master Xu's introductory class, other masters have their own focus on students.

Liu Xu and Han Duoduo secretly went to watch the master's class, and were caught by the master (mother) who was demonstrating to everyone, and they squatted in horse stance for half an hour.

Students could take a break during class, but the two of them squatted there until the get out of class was over. Their former schoolmates were envious, but they never went there again.

Wouldn't it be nice to just lie down like Ge You at home? Otherwise, it would be nice to practice Qinggong at Beilinpo!

That’s right, Liu Xu has learned the art of lightness training. Even though it may not work sometimes and it can’t fly very high, at least he has learned it.

Han Duoduo even said that she was better than when she was a child. Liu Xu realized that those who said that she could fly here and there in a blink of an eye were all lies!

The houses of the villagers in Liujia Village had been built. The whole village was made of blue bricks and tiles, which was very impressive. After that, almost all the young and strong people who had not entered the workshop joined in the construction of the wall. Together with the hundreds of workers transferred by Zhu Jiacheng, the wall was soon built and only a quarter of it was left.

Liu Xu invested a lot of money this time, all of which were reinforced with glutinous rice paste. If Chang Yifei hadn't sent her the dividends from last season, she would have almost spent all her capital.

The reception hall has been completed. Since the beginning of April, everything including Zuiyunxuan has been handed over to the reception hall, and Dong Bin and his team are in charge.

Everything is moving in the right direction, except... there is no news from the capital or the northern border right now.

For two consecutive months, the mushrooms and fermented bean curd sent to the northern border were all sent by Chang Yifei. Of course, the money was also paid by Chang Yifei, after all, Mu Lingxuan got a share of the profits from Zhenxiu Pavilion.

But every time he thought of this, Liu Xu felt a little worried.

But now she is just a little girl who is not even eight years old and can do nothing but worry.

After dinner, Liu Xu teased the two younger brothers for a while and then returned to the west yard.

Liu Xu didn't have the habit of having people keep watch all night, so after Qiao Yun and the others served a few people and talked to them, they went downstairs to rest.

However, she was worried and couldn't sleep, so she tossed and turned and wrapped herself in a quilt and sat on the lounge chair on the balcony.

There is a crescent moon in the sky, and you can see the entire Liujia Village while sitting here.

There were still a few houses in the village with lights on, and the chirping of crickets could be heard in the fields, adding a bit of liveliness to the quiet night.

The spring nights were a bit chilly. Liu Xu looked closely at the entrance of the village and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening behind him, and then Ye Miaoyin's cold voice rang out: "Are you worried about your father and uncle?"

Liu Xu stood up quickly and asked, "Master, why did you come out?"

Ye Miaoyin came to the other side and sat down on the chair. She said in a calm voice with concern: "Master, I heard you open the door. Are you worried about them?"

"Well, it's been two months. Not only is there no news from Daddy and Brother Huaijin, there's no news from Uncle and the others either. Master, do you think something has happened?" The worry in Liu Xu's tone could not be hidden.

"Don't overthink it. They will be fine! Even if something does happen, the Marquis of Zhenguo will lead them to evacuate safely."

"But just in case..."

"Nothing will happen!" Ye Miaoyin said firmly, "Xu'er, you should trust them! No matter who is the emperor, they dare not touch the Zhenguohou Mansion openly."

The Mu family army is different from other armies. They only recognize members of the Mu family, so it is useless even if they get the tiger talisman.

What's more, for the past six months, the Mu family army has been supported by the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion itself. No matter how stupid those people are, they will not touch the Mu family at this critical juncture. They also have to think carefully about protecting the people of the Mu family.

Even without the protection of the Mu family, she believed that the Xu family would be safe and sound, even the old man from the Chang family.

At most, their freedom is restricted during special periods. After all, they have not taken sides. The superiors need confidants, but loyal ministers who can get things done are also indispensable.

Ye Miaoyin told Liu Xu all this.

She didn't understand these things before, but she was not stupid. She had been in the capital for some time and heard a lot from Huai Jin's mother and her eldest disciple.

After hearing this, Liu Xu felt more at ease. The master and the apprentice then went back to their rooms to rest.
